Somewhere in the $150-$175 range I believe, they have a few different ones.

Well There is a very Reputable rebuilder in East L.A.. My brother has had work done there before and had only good things to say about them.. But if I can get the GM one and just reclock it I should be alright.. I think it has more than enough to keep my power needs met..

huh GM one boilting into the stock mounts??? I don't think so. I would have seen that done before. the only thing I'm aware of is the FD that fits in. but you need a new bolt and nut.

Its been done, technically the alternator in a Mazda is a Mitsuibishi so you cant go by manufacturer.



Its a bolt on thing, someone on the board did it over the summer actually.

I want some more info and pics if possible! I really need a new one. I bought a used FD one last month but it never showed up I think it got lost in the mail.

Info is it had to be clocked, which is just about any alternator you buy needs to be clocked to your car. PM 13bAce, he hasnt been on alot, but he did it and didnt have any problems, I dont think he bothered to take pics, it was only a alternator install, I did see it in the car and it looked....well it looked like a alternator.

what does clocking it mean?

Rob x-7

It means you just unbolt the front of the alternator from the back, seperate and spin it until the mounting bolts and plug line up for your application.
